TOMB 16

Originally tomb 16 consisted of a burial chamber only, which was facing the Via Severiana.
The tomb is located a little bit away from that street. On the left side too the tomb
was detached, and there was an alley between tombs 15 and 16.
Later a courtyard was built enclosing the area
between tomb 16 and the Via Severiana as well as the alley.
The entrance of the enclosure faced the north instead of
the main street. A part of the enclosure had a roof which was supported
by brick columns. One of the columns still remains in the middle of
the courtyard.
